Adding power steering to my 782

[beancent]

For a while now I have been checking out the different threads on adding power steering to a 782 and what all needs to be change out and came to the realization that picking up a parts tractor would be more economical. So I found an 1864 parts tractor with a bad command motor. I know that the front axle needs to be swapped in and that this is going to raise the front 2 inches, but by adding taller tires in the rear would even out front to back. Also have read that using and early 1862 axle would keep the front at stock height. For those that have done this swap using an 1864 to draw parts from, how much of the hydraulic lines can I use. I have a dual spool valve mounted currently on the 782. I know the 1864 lines will not work on this spool valve.

Does anyone know if the early 1862 axle spindles fit into the 1864 axle.

I would suggest looking at the parts diagram for a 1572 that has PS. Most, but not all of the lines would be the same.

I am pretty sure that PS will work with the original 782 front axle.
